Dear Cascade Family and Friends,
The recent events in Charlottesville, Virginia are a reminder that the sting of racism still exists. We first express our deepest condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in this senseless act of hate and continue to lift those injured in our prayers.
In his "Letter from a Birmingham Jail," Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. reminded America that "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." In 2017, on American soil, we are witnessing the threat to justice. From the killings of unarmed people of color by law enforcement, to the constant threat of economic disparity in minority communities, injustice is seemingly ruling our land.
Beloved, let us march on till victory is won.
Dr. Kevin R. Murriel
Senior Pastor, Cascade United Methodist Church
